This filter is NOT spec'd to our car's. The PCX was designed solely for the S2000.

I wouldn't dismiss this filter too fast. Sounds a little expensive, but for all the money people spend on stuff that adds little or no improvement to the car, this isn

You have to wash it though, that sucks. Washing an air filter is one thing. Washing oil filter full of used oil is another. I'd pay $100 NOT to wash my filter. Besides, the PCX is a high flow filter anyway. For about $5 a pop, you get a filter you know is 100% clean and fits our cars perfectly.

I read the article. Less filtration = more flow. More filtration = LESS flow. A simple concept. It sound's as if this filter has no bypass valve. The bypass on the PCX oil filter is designed for the high volume and pressure for our car's.

The article also state's that this filter will add 5-6 hp

OEM filters are no problem... if you smoke... quit for a day and buy yourself a filter

I'm just wondering if this filter is actually better, or if there are better than OEM filters out there also?
